居家風水搶救DIY

2009-12-04T06:10:00.000-08:00

「家」是我們的避風港，但它也可能是最親密的敵人，讓你受害而不自知。很多人以為開公司或大戶人家，才需請風水師來看，其實一般住家風水對人們的影響，不僅最直接，也最容易讓人們發現它吉凶禍福的實際性。基本上從易經八卦演化的家相八方位在健康上，代表著各部位的能量區，除方位和人們運勢、財運有影響外，比較具體、實際的格局對健康財運，也有很大的影響，茲說明如下： 1、大門：它是控制進出，保護隔開本宅與外異的道路，如大門空氣不流通，不清潔，則諸事不順，對外人際關係差，嘴巴和鼻子也會有疾病。 2、客廳：客廳空間應比屋內每一個房間大，客廳氣場較盛，家人相處較有凝聚力，家長較能建立領導地位，如果空間不夠大，傢俱不宜擺設太多。客廳亦代表一個人的門面，必須時常保持乾淨，茶几不能堆物零亂，電視機不宜太大、太近，否則會有情緒不穩，家人穩感不和的現象。而家中植物不能太多，

婆家好不好？老公很重要！‏(網路轉載)

2009-07-18T02:44:00.000-07:00

最近和朋友討論了婆媳問題, 很多婆媳問題的產生，其實"老公"的角色佔很重要的因素。如果老公做的好，不但不會有婆媳問題，反而能夠讓老婆更受寵愛喔!婆婆通常都疼兒子，這是千年不變的道理，縱使現在已經接近男女平等, 但是媽媽愛兒子的心是不會改變的，所以當她的兒子身邊多了一個女人, 沒"比較"沒感覺。當兒子交了女友，娶了老婆，當媽媽的就會想：兒子"比較"聽老婆的話, 兒子"比較"常跟老婆在一起, 兒子"比較"常跟老婆說話, 兒子對老婆"比較"好, 本來嘛，女人就是比較小心眼~無論是小姐還是升級到了媽媽角色, 愛計較的心還是不會變的~在婆媳關係上，我很慶幸，老公幫了我很大忙~聽我娓娓道來... 我老公是麼子，婆婆高齡得子，對兒子一定百般疼愛, 但是對我而言，婆婆的年齡足以當我阿嬤了~我從小生長在只有爸媽&弟弟的家庭, 根本沒有和老人家相處過~對我而言~這就是一門障礙, 知道這點障礙~

最好的安慰是無言的微笑和傾聽

2009-07-14T15:21:00.000-07:00

懂得什麼時候不要說話，是一種智慧。當朋友也是一樣。在別人哀慟欲絕的時候，你還要追根究底，就像人家的傷疤好不容易在結痂，你還來撥人家的痂。最好的安慰是無言的微笑，和傾聽。有智慧的父母也是孩子福份。在英國遊學的時候，住宿家庭隔壁就住了一對很有智慧的夫妻。他們剛好度過七年之癢。有一次我在院子看書，目睹隔壁院子發生的事情。布朗先生正在教他五歲的兒子安迪使用剪草機，父子兩剪得正高興時，父親進門去接?電話。接著我看到一幕慘劇；五歲的安迪把剪草機推向父親最愛的鬱金香花園，不一會，已經有兩公尺長的花圃遭殃。布朗先生出來，鐵青著一張臉。眼看他的拳頭已經高高的舉起...忽然，布朗太太出來了，她看見滿目狼藉的花圃,馬上知明白發生了什麼事。她小聲、溫柔地對先生笑道：「喂，我們現在人生最大的幸福是養孩子，不是在養鬱金香。」三秒鐘後，他們交換一個吻，一切歸於平靜。我把這個故事告訴好友，她是個家庭主婦。後來她告訴我，

一定要看完...... 感人當我看完, 百感交集, 熱淚盈框,當我們窮於應付生活所需之時, 是否也忽略了些什麼 ?很感人的一篇文章 , 分享給你! 和另一女人約會？結婚了廿一年後，我發現了一種別出心裁的方法,可以讓愛的火花永保新鮮。不久以前，我和另一位女士約會，其實那還是我妻子的主意。有一天她說：「我知道妳很愛她。」我很驚訝，立刻爭辯說：「但我愛的是妳呀！」「我知道，但你也愛她呀！」我妻子要我去看的女士是我的母親。她已經寡居了十九年，然而我忙碌的工作和身為二個孩子父親的責任，令我分身乏術，以致很少有時間和她相聚。那晚，我打電話給她，邀約她第二天和我一起吃晚餐和看電影。「怎麼了，你還好嗎？」她問道。母親是那種會認為晚上那麼晚打電話，又突然邀約她，一定不會有什麼好事的人。「我想如果有機會和妳單獨約會，一定很有意思。」我回答。她想了一會兒，然後說：「我非常樂意。」

别每次都打满油！

2009-04-12T03:45:00.000-07:00

在美國油站的每一支加油槍上，都有標示 DO NOT TOP OFF，意思是說，一般我們都會把加油槍，放進車子的加油孔，然後用扣環 hold 住，加滿的時候，扣環跳起來油槍自動會停住，這時候不要再硬加油到你車子裡。但是在大马我们都會繼續加到整數，對吧？扣環跳起來以後，還是努力的按按按，用點放式的方法，努力的加到整數。以後你去加油的時候，請不要這樣做了，因為你們都在花冤枉錢！不要這樣做的理由我現在告訴你：加油槍的設計是這樣的，你加滿油的時候扣環會跳起來，是因為有一個感應器在油槍前端的金屬部分，包在前面橡皮套裡面，在加油的同時，加油槍回收從你油箱回吐的油氣，當 hose 集滿了油氣之後，扣環會跳起來停止供油，這時候你的油箱已經加滿到一個安全的程度了。而在這之後如果你繼續硬加的話，這時候的汽油並不是進到你的車子裡，而是跑回到 hose 裡面，你說這樣不是在花冤枉錢是什麼？而加油站每個星期都需要

In result, I have to write many cheques every month for the payment settlements. Sometimes, I got to pay a lot for late payment

錢是誰拿走了 (Who took the money?)

2009-02-28T18:48:00.000-08:00

“魔鏡魔鏡告訴我，次貸到底要甚麼？”如果世界真有一面魔鏡，想必從國家領導人、基金經理至個人投資者都急欲想知道上述答案。從2007年次貸虧損“初生之犢不畏虎”之勢，到目前星火燎原的狂風落葉之舉，規模與形式不僅顛覆傳統，前所未有的惡性企業倒閉與信貸敗壞消息甚至仍未見谷底。這場次貸風暴，究竟吞噬多少白花花鈔票，恐怕目前新聞報導的還不到真正虧損的十分之一，甚至“兆”已算是最基本的計算單位。不過，潮落總有潮起，經濟再怎麼史無前例低潮，總會有觸底反彈的時機。況且，經濟學家總是滔滔不絕提醒：“趁人不備時搶攻市場”！在不景氣時機切莫灰心，睜大眼睛尋找各式商機才是最重要的！準備好沒？洗把臉、喝雞精、拿出存摺與計算機，讓《投資致富》率領你踏上“淡市打撈”之旅，男女老少高矮貧富不受限，唯一前提是必須備妥暈船丸，以免看到許多黃金機會而讓你興奮昏頭。別急！要找錢必先知道錢在何處，就像要吃魚總要先懂得捕魚吧？

教導孩子回報我們給予的愛，跟我們愛他同樣的重要。

2009-02-19T00:35:00.000-08:00

這兩天，兩個孩子輪番生病，兒子高燒不退，半夜我抱著他滾燙的身體、看著他火紅的面頰，即使知道沒有什麼大礙，做媽媽的總是擔憂、睡不好覺。下午載女兒出門溜冰，我有感而發的問她：「媽媽照顧你們好辛苦喔！你將來會不會孝順我？」女兒傻呼呼的問：「什麼是孝順？」我說：「就是對我好、愛我啊！」女兒很天真的從後座探頭對我說：「會啊！我會孝順你！我將來賺的錢都會給你！」（因為阿嬤常常問他們，將來賺錢會不會給阿嬤？所以女兒馬上這樣回答。）我笑著說：「媽媽不用妳給我很多錢啦！但是媽媽現在每天這樣很辛苦的載妳去上課、去玩，將來我老了，走不動了，我希望妳也要記得每天來看我、載我去玩、陪我去看病。妳會嗎？」七歲的女兒馬上接口：「我會啊！我長大以後還是要跟妳住在一起，每天都會看妳啦！」接著皺起眉：「可是我沒辦法帶妳出去玩耶！」「為什麼呢？」我問。「因為我不會開車、又不認得路啊！」真是可愛的回答。

我的妻子因為意外事故離開我身邊已經四年了,我想,妻子留下不會做任何家事的我和孩子, 她的心有何等難過呢？我也因為無法兼顧父母雙親的角色而感到挫折。有一天我為了出差, 清晨趕出門,無法將孩子打點好就得離開家,正巧前一天有剩下的飯,我熱了蒸蛋, 向還沒有睡醒的孩子交代一聲,就出門去了。為了照顧好孩子飲食三餐的事,我也無力把自己的工作做好。有一天晚上回到家, 我只是很簡短地和孩子打個招呼, 就因為身體疲累, 不想吃晚餐, 脫掉西裝之後就直接往床上躺下。就在那個時候, 砰的一聲, 紅色的湯汁跟泡麵瞬時弄髒了床單和被單, 原來有碗泡麵在棉被裡!這小子真是的, 說時遲那時快, 我即時拿起一個衣架, 跑出去, 往正玩著玩具的兒子的屁股就打, 因為我實在是太生氣了, 所以不停地打他。但就在這個時候,他邊啜泣邊說了一段話,使我停了下來。兒子告訴我說:「飯鍋裡的飯早上已經吃完了,晚餐在幼稚園吃了,

我老婆開車載著我心愛的小Baby去買炒麵車子就停在一家快炒的攤子前,因為車上有 Baby ,所以就搖下車窗叫老闆弄,沒下車.然後再把車窗搖上和小Baby 玩 ,我老婆有一個習慣人在車上,一定要上中控鎖,無論是發動或停止。前有一輛銀色的休旅車, 兩個人,兩個人都走下車.看起斯斯文文的,走過我們的車,我老婆和小Baby正玩得開心,突然後座,'ㄆㄧㄚ'!!的一聲我老婆嚇一跳!!驚覺有人要開我們的車門因為鎖住,他們又裝作若無其事的走回去車上。我老婆說給我聽的時候 ,我覺得太不可思議了 ,這事情就在光天化日下發生 ,如果沒有鎖的話,我真的不敢想像會發生什麼事情希望大家有上鎖的習慣 ,他們都是從後座下手的.因為這樣最容易制服一個人 ,況乎車上有小Baby,你會放他不管就下車嗎？看到這消息真是令我感到驚訝,以前都是接到別人轉手好幾次的訊息 ,都不太覺得害怕,這真的十分重要!

請珍惜你身边的傻女人

2008-12-25T08:38:00.000-08:00

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而拋下自己的父母,來照顧那男人的父母;但男人不用。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而寧願自己挺顆又重又大的球十個月,只為了替那男人生下一個跟男人姓的下一代;還得承受生完小孩後的體質變差、身材變形的後遺症,但男人不用。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄一卡車追求他的好男人,只為和男人長廂廝守,卻埋沒了最美的青春;但男人卻不為青春所懼,反而愈老愈值錢。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄父母給她二十多年的姓,而跟著老公姓,又被冠上'太太'二字;但男人沒變。女人有時真的好傻, 可以為了愛一個男人,而早上上班,晚上煮飯做家事帶小孩,有工作也有家事的壓力;但男人沒差,反而多了個賺錢的人和不用給薪的女傭。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而去適應一個完全不同的家庭和面對男人的親友團批評,女人懂事的試圖尋求男人的保護時,換來的是...

所有員工在職時都很重要, 離職後都不重要。

2008-12-21T20:38:00.000-08:00

在職場不做徒勞無功的事記得以前有位同事離職前多拉了幾個人走,以為會對公司的業務造成影響,經我觀察的結果做了結論:完全沒有影響,缺人找人,頂多資深員工辛苦點,對公司來說,「所有員工在職時都很重要,離職後都不重要」,沒有一個員工是非留不可的,這似乎就是職場常態近20年以來,我長時間在美台兩地以理財專家的立埸談理財,幫助客戶及社會大眾做好理財。我常強調做好理財的目的是錢盡其用,讓錢發揮最大的效用,一個相關的重要原則就是凡事講究划算。我覺得以這樣的現實觀點來看工作,和我倡議的『回到蠻荒』觀點倒是有相通的地方,那就是不做徒勞無功的事,或沒有成果的事。蠻荒的動物都能秉持這樣的原則工作。所以依現實的原則看工作,現代人工作的目的應該只是為了能賺錢,除此以外無他。以下是探討這類觀點的專家所提供的一些工作原則,不妨做為參考:原則 1:工作真的只是一份工作不要期待工作與生活能兼顧,

女生要注意囉．被騙了這麼久，原來橫條比直條還瘦？

2008-12-08T05:03:00.000-08:00

上個月有一個有趣的報導，傳遍了英國、南非與印度。你覺得，胖子應該穿直條衣，還是橫條衣，看起來會比較瘦？夜市看衣服，很少會同時有一件橫條和一件直條讓我們「比比看」，所以我們老是認為，橫條的看起來會更胖，一定要盡量買直條的。結果英國科學家找來200張模特兒，真的讓她們穿上「橫條」與「直條」的同樣款式的衣服（如上圖），兩張照片對照，拿給更多的實驗者看，結果很震撼：認為「橫條」的比較瘦的，竟然比「直條」的還多了足足 6%。他們說，其實這件事早在18世紀就知道了，德國的物理學家Hermann von Helmholtz畫了兩個正方型（如圖下），左邊的方形裡面都是橫線，右邊的都是直線，你看看，哪個方形較「胖」？橫的哪裡胖了！是直的比較胖吧？當年這位物理學家曾寫給女性時尚界，他當時的解釋是，橫條會看起來「較高」，因此就「較瘦」。但顯然沒人記得這件事。我們就在想，穿橫條紋的看起來會胖，是捌？是誰說的？

女人

2008-09-30T20:09:00.000-07:00

女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而拋下自己的父母,來照顧那男人的父母;但男人不用。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而寧願自己挺顆又重又大的球十個月,只為了替那男人生下一個跟男人姓的下一代;還得承受生完小孩後的體質變差、身材變形的後遺症,但男人不用。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄一卡車追求他的好男人,只為和男人長廂廝守,卻埋沒了最美的青春? 男人却不為青春所懼,反而愈老愈值錢。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而放棄父母給她二十多年的姓,而跟著老公姓,又被冠上'太太'二字;但男人沒變。女人有時真的好傻, 可以為了愛一個男人,而早上上班,晚上煮飯做家事帶小孩,有工作也有家事的壓力;但男人沒差,反而多了個賺錢的人和不用給薪的女傭。女人有時真的好傻,可以為了愛一個男人,而去適應一個完全不同的家庭和面對男人的親友團批評,女人懂事的試圖尋求男人的保護時,換來的是...

金科玉律

2008-09-27T23:38:00.000-07:00

試金可以用火,試女人可以用金,試男人可以用女人。男人要有錢,和誰都有緣。沒錢的時候,老婆兼秘書;而有錢的時候,秘書兼老婆。有錢的人怕別人知道他有錢,沒錢的人怕別人知道他沒錢。好好活著,因為我們會死很久很久。高職不如高薪,高薪不如高壽,高壽不如高興。偷一個人的主意是剽竊,偷很多人的主意就是研究。幹點好事總想讓鬼神知道,幹點壞事總以為鬼神不知道如果有錢是種錯,就讓我一錯再錯。女人喜歡有安全感的男人;男人卻往往被缺乏安全感的女人吸引。不吃飯的女人這世上也許還有好多好多個,不吃醋的女人卻連一個也沒有。懷才就像懷孕,時間久了才能讓人看出來。毀滅友情的方式有許多,最徹底的一種是借錢。

我的家,在马来西亚,我的人,住在前南非。马来西亚(Malaysia)政府不停的责备挑剔的为难以色列(Israel),不断的向世人谴责以色列人欺压巴勒斯坦人,甚至直到今天不准许马来西亚人民到以色列去。但是,今天马来西亚马来政府切不断实行种族隔离政策。当他们不断责难以色列时,真正目的是为了掩饰他们的边缘化政策。几十年前,当我小的时候,父母亲从外国回来,Passport放在桌子上。我就很好奇的打开来看,就问爸爸,Passport这里面写的是什么？爸爸告诉我说,我们马来西亚人民什么国家都可以去,只是共产党国家和以色列及南非不准去,因为共产党要控制我们的国家,所以我们不可以和他们来往及和好。我就很好奇的跟爸爸说,那么说以色列和南非也是共产党。爸爸对我说,南非和以色列不是共产党国家,只是因为马来西亚政府不认同他们国家政策,因为他们的政府尤其是南非,种族主义非常强,种族隔离政策来对付黑人族群。在南非,

One of the most important things to know on your journey to success is that you will occasionally slip up. It's how you respond to these slip ups that will determine if and when you achieve your goals.Even the most disciplined, motivated people in the world have days when they don't take action and don't follow through. The difference between those who succeed and those who fail is that

專家教你省油‧鎖緊油箱蓋‧勿加速煞車

2008-09-09T08:18:00.000-07:00

迎接高油價時代來臨，已是不容忽視的事實。汽油起價，我們能夠做什麼？除了改變消費態度外，人民也應該從今天開始認真學習各種省油技巧。人民唯有身體力行，才能省油省錢。高油價已不容許我們掉以輕心，否則吃虧的只有自己。以下是專家教授的省油方法，人民只需改變駕車習慣，加上技術的認知，就能達到省油的事半功倍效果。節省汽油方法（人為可解決）1. 將油箱的蓋子鎖緊，若有空隙汽油便會由此蒸發。美國每年約有1億4700萬加侖的油因為鬆脫、破損、或遺失的油箱蓋而蒸發掉。因此加完油後一定要記得把油箱蓋旋緊。2. 沒有必要時，不要開車；或是僅可能利用共車概念（Carpool）也是很好的省油法。3. 汽車或摩多油箱勿加太滿，但也不可太少，否則都會增加汽油的消耗。4. 如果您想買新車，請注意車子的規格細節，並請牢記：汽缸愈大的車子耗油量愈多。一般仍是以1300至2000cc左右的汽車較省油。5. 避免高溫下添油，

一種叫理所當然的習慣

2008-09-08T08:28:00.000-07:00

上了一天班,回到家裡,丈夫只會粗聲粗氣的說:「飯煮好了沒？我餓死了。」對妻子的忙碌辛苦視而不見。有一天,丈夫帶著未婚獨居的同事回家, 同事一進門,老婆接過兩人的公事包和外套, 丈夫還是老話:「飯煮好了沒？」同事卻說:「大嫂,對不起,麻煩你了。」看到一桌熱騰騰的飯菜,同事感動的差點掉下淚來:「一回家就有熱飯熱菜可吃的感覺真好! 哪像我,每天回家都只有冰冷的牆壁迎接我。」然後埋頭拼命吃菜,彷彿一輩子都沒吃過飯的; 對老婆的手藝讚不絕口, 一盤簡單的炒青菜都被他說得像什麼山珍海味的。老婆眉開眼笑,不斷的夾菜給同事,還說:「請用。」老公反而被冷落一邊。吃完飯,老公照例拍拍屁股, 想移到客廳沙發看電視、聊聊天, 正想開口叫老婆倒茶; 那個不識好歹的同事,竟然幫忙收拾碗筷, 還不忘跟老婆道謝:「大嫂,謝謝你費心做這麼豐盛的晚餐請我。這些碗盤我來洗就好。」老婆當然不會讓客人洗碗。這時,丈夫說:「

華人祖先十二生肖的意義

2008-09-06T20:18:00.000-07:00

有一次，我有機會和歐洲貴族聚餐。可能酒喝多了，一位德國貴族站了起來，諷刺說：你們華人都是屬什麼豬啊！狗啊！老鼠啊！不像我們，都是金牛座、獅子座、仙女座……真不知道你們祖先怎麼想的？當時這些貴族聽完哈哈大笑，還互相碰杯，先前的優雅完全不見了。按理說，人家在罵你祖宗了，你即使沒有話說，起碼可以掀桌子啊！但所有人都坐著不吭聲，也可能是還沒反應過來，我當時只好平和地告訴在場所有外賓：華人的祖先是很實在的，我們十二生肖兩兩相對，六道輪迴，體現了我們祖先對華人全部的期望跟要求。這時現場氣氛雖然從嬉鬧轉為安靜，但是他們臉上還是一副不屑的樣子。我說：第一組是老鼠和牛。老鼠代表智慧，牛代表勤奮。智慧和勤奮一定要緊緊結合在一起。如果光有智慧不勤奮，那就變成小聰明；而光是勤奮，不動腦筋，那就變成愚蠢。所以這兩者一定要結合，這是我們祖先對華人的第一組期望和要求，也是最重要的一組。第二組是老虎和兔子。

我們都老得太快，卻聰明得太遲

2008-08-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

把錢省下來，等待退休後再去享受結果退休後，因為年紀大，身體差，行動不方便，哪裡也去不成。錢存下來等養老，結果孩子長大了，要出國留學，要創業做生意，要花錢娶老婆，自己的退休金都被拗走了。當自己有足夠的能力善待自己時，就立刻去做，老年人有時候是無法做中年人或是青少年人可以做的事，年紀和健康就是一大因素。孩子從小就告訴他，養你到高中，大學以後就要自立更生，要留學，創業，娶老婆，自己想辦法，自己要留多一點錢，不要為了小孩子而活。我們都老得太快卻聰明得太遲，我的學長去年喪妻。這突如其來的事故，實在叫人難以接受，但是死亡的到來不總是如此。學長說他太太最希望他能送鮮花給他，但是他覺得太浪費，總推說等到下次再買，結果卻是在她死後，用鮮花佈置她的靈堂。這不是太蠢愚了嗎？！等到......、等到.....，似乎我們所有的生命，都用在等待。「等到我大學畢業以後，我就會如何如何」我們對自己說「

2008-05-15T21:56:00.000-07:00

有一個人去應徵工作，隨手將走廊上的紙屑撿起來，放進了垃圾桶，被路過的口試官看到了，因此他得到了這份工作。原來獲得賞識很簡單，養成好習慣就可以了。有個小弟在腳踏車店當學徒，有人送來一部故障的腳踏車，小弟除了將車修好，還把車子整理的漂亮如新，其他學徒笑他多此一舉，後來雇主將腳踏車領回去的第二天，小弟被挖角到那位雇主的公司上班。原來出人頭地很簡單，吃點虧就可以了。有個小孩對母親說：「媽媽你今天好漂亮。」母親回答：「為什麼。」小孩說「因為媽媽今天都沒有生氣。」原來要擁有漂亮很簡單，只要不生氣就可以了。有個牧場主人，叫他孩子每天在牧場上辛勤的工作，朋友對他說：「你不需要讓孩子如此辛苦，農作物一樣會長得很好的。」牧場主人回答說：「我不是在培養農作物，我是在培養我的孩子。」原來培養孩子很簡單，讓他吃點苦頭就可以了。有一個網球教練對學生說：「如果一個網球掉進草堆裏

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled

Peace Of MindIf you were to ask your neighbor,'What would give you peace of mind?' he might tell you,'A vacation in Bermuda!' or'An extra hundred grand would give me peace!', or'A new Ferrari would make me content!'But going places - and getting stuff - is usually a temporary solution...Peace of mind rarely comes from getting more stuff.Getting more stuff usually leads to wanting even more stuff!

地球的癌細胞 (Cancer Cells Of The Earth)

2008-04-29T08:03:00.000-07:00

Do not be the cancel cells of the Earth. Read on.老張是我們高中同班同學中唯一念醫學院的同學, 他是癌症醫生。我們雖然是好朋友，但我們常常開玩笑說最好不需要去找他。同班同學聚會，老張一定會到，他的收入高得不得了，所以有的時候他會請客，偶爾同學中有人發生一些經濟上的困難，他也會慷慨解囊。雖然老張對人很慷慨，卻過著很簡樸的生活，他每次都坐公共汽車來聚會，他也乘公車離開，現在有了地鐵，他當然都乘地鐵。他也從不大吃大喝。我的感覺是，老張非常不喜歡過非常舒適的生活。我們都是六十二歲左右的人，到退休年齡，卻沒有人真正退休。大概四個月以前聽人家說，老張退休了，醫院還為他舉行了一個退休儀式，而且聽說場面有些感傷。我弄不清楚是怎麼一回事，正想打電話給他，沒有想到在台北的一家書店碰到了他。他正在買偵探小說，看到了我，高興得不得了，一把抓住我，

USD 0.01 Pay Per Click

2008-04-27T04:38:00.001-07:00

In my previous post, I did mention that USD 1.99 pay per click is the highest earning per click that I have ever earned. All these while I thought USD 0.03 is the lowest pay per click in the Google Adsense program because it was the lowest earning per click that in my mind.The truth is, the lowest pay per click could be as low as USD 0.01 earning per click. The gap between my highest and lowest
